DSM launches higher-performance matte powder coating technology

Zwolle, NL, 23 Apr 2018 11:00 CEST

Royal DSM, a global science company active in health, nutrition and
materials, has today launched a new proprietary Uralac® one
shot matte (OSM) powder coating HAA system that delivers better
reproducibility and enables lower crosslinker levels and curing
temperatures than current one shot matte alternatives. The new Uralac
OSM powder coating resins are being rolled out globally and can be
used for a wide range of industrial matte applications.

Thanks to DSM’s R&D efforts, the innovative Uralac OSM P8014 and P8019 resins enable a step change in performance for OSM powder coatings for industrial applications, delivering several important user advantages. In particular, unlike other commercially available OSM low-gloss powder coating solutions, which usually offer cure temperatures of 200°C, DSM’s newly launched Uralac OSM system can be cured for 10 minutes at 180°C or 20 minutes at 160°C, enabling a lower manufacturing carbon footprint.

In addition, the new Uralac OSM resins successfully tackles the common drawback of poor reproducibility for OSM matte powder coating solutions. With the new Uralac OSM resins, manufacturers can more easily reproduce the same matte coating finish. Finally, the new Uralac OSM HAA system also enables lower crosslinker levels than other current OSM alternative systems, driving the cost-effectiveness of matte powder coating solutions.
